Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, IDPH is now reporting separately both confirmed and probable cases and deaths on its website. Reporting probable cases will help show the potential burden of COVID-19 illness and efficacy of population-based non-pharmaceutical interventions. IDPH will update these data once a week.
*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Information for deaths previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted. For health questions about COVID-19, call the hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.

Rate is creeping up slowly. Come on folks have to get below 2% so we can open up!! Wear masks, wash your hands, social distance its really not that difficult nor a violation of your freedoms.

Also interesting is that they are going break out U of I from Region 6 (probably because it skews the numbers for the rest of the region).

Without Champaign County, the rest of Region 6 is 7.1%, starting to play with fire in that region outside of U of I too.

Now do this for the rest of the state and we start to look as bad as surrounding states.
